Rec pak and other meal replacements

[mad_angler]

I keep seeing adds for Rec pak. They claim to be a quick, light meal. They are about 700 calories and just require cool water.

It seems like a reasonable, efficient way to get calories. But i wonder if they are actually enjoyable.
They are also about $12 each so they compare with other freeze dried meals.

Has anyone used them on backcountry hunts?

Big Rec Pak fan. In terms a of a meal replacement shake tjhey are good. The trick is to let them sit for awhile (5-10 mins) and shake them up before drinking. I use em for breakfast because i usually don't have an appetite early. The Coffee flavored one even has a good amount of caffeine in it.

I would recommend trying them for sure. They are also a good consistency so you can chug them if you just need calories asap.

Interesting....
I'm base camping from my truck. So breakfast is not really a problem. It would be nice to have an easy way to get a big breakfast quickly and easily. I was thinking of the premade shakes for that.
